so instead of going to the sob nu rock awards...

2006-12-02T18:40:00.000+08:00

... i had a minor eye operation done yesterday, and it freaking hurts. imagine getting the skin around your eye injected with anesthesia, having the skin clamped so that it'll be stretched, then having the opthalmologist poke the skin with a little sharp thingy so that the sties (aka kuliti - and no, hindi ako nanilip! perverts.) will come out. all this while you're conscious. it fucking hurts.

afterwards, the doctor put a pressure patch on my eye, and for about five hours, i looked like an extra for a pirates of the caribbean movie:

hurts like hell.

and you know what really freaked me out? when i removed the patch, the cotton swab was red with blood. so that means that what i thought were tears trickling down my face during the operation was actually blood. good lord.

well, at least that's over. having your eye swell every other week was worse (which is what happened to me for about a month before i had this operation done).

anyway, congratulations mong for winning the best male and guitarist of the year awards last night. even though there is no chance in hell that you'd stumble upon this page and read it, congrats anyway. you deserve it. *hug* (<--- kadiri! nyay.)

admit one is love.

2006-11-11T22:11:00.000+08:00

bakit namin pinag-aagawan si mong?!

tinatamad ako mag-cross post. http://roroport.livejournal.com

admit one is love.

note to all: just leave a comment if you want to... well, leave a comment. lang tagboard dun e, mas madalas ako mag-post dun. thanks!

i love house.

2006-10-31T19:53:00.000+08:00

gawd. i typed an entire blog entry on my livejournal but when i clicked this stupid button allowing pop-ups, the entire thing got erased. and now i've got to type it all over again.

anyway, i was just telling the entire world (or just the people who read this blog which is a pretty small number) how much i love house. i've just finished the second season and now i'm hunting all over the net, trying to find a site where i can download the third season for free. i can't even watch house reruns because i don't have axn.

ang astig talaga ng house. 3/4 of our time during sem planning was spent watching it. now even my orgmates are hooked. don't worry, it's a good addiction.

thanks michi for introducing me to house. i love him. but i love chase even more.

speaking of sem planning...

for some reason, this concert has given us more headaches than... whatever.

my org, up broadguild, is going to have a concert on the 17th. it's for the benefit of kids at he care foundation. and since we're backed up by 99.5 rt, we've got cool bands to play on the concert like imago, dicta license (who still hasn't replied to my message, by the way), kwjan, stonefree, etc. we're supposed to have the concert at the bahay ng alumni, but then some other org reserved it for a seminar, so we decided to have it at the as parking lot. but surprise, surprise. when i went to the ovcca yesterday to reserve the venue, i found out that another organization beat us to it. as in, november 17 din! duy. murphy's law talaga. we already have enough problems with money without having to worry about the venue.

hay. i will just think of this as a test of character for the organization. if we don't pull this off... nah. WE WILL.

we sure have gone through a lot of tests this year, though.

anyway, people, please come to the concert. tickets are only for 30 bucks. c'mon, 10 bands for 30 bucks? that's a great deal.

dad's home!

2006-10-27T18:01:00.000+08:00

went to the airport las night to pick up my dad. in fairness, i only made one wrong turn, considering it was my first time to drive to the airport. haha.

we have a new digicam! yay, camwhoring na naman ito.

also brought a lot of cookies at the duty free store at naia. saya saya.

ayun. tapos eto yung nakakatawa...di ba kapag may mga umuuwi galing ibang bansa, lahat ng tao nagaantay ng chocolates? di siyempre expected yun sa dad ko, na magdala siya ng chocolates. e kamusta naman, halos ka-presyo lang ng chocolates sa duty free yung sa groceries dito, mas mura pa. so saan kami bumili ng chocolates?

sa WALTER MART! haha.

o di ba. sosyal. haha.

e wala lang, gusto ko lang mag-lj.

2006-10-25T23:30:00.000+08:00

sayang din naman kasi yung account ko e. saka for some reason, mas feel ko ang livejournal. haha.

http://roroport.livejournal.com

go go go!

sembreak na ba?

2006-10-22T13:07:00.000+08:00

only one more looming concept to go.

we finally (!) finished our documentary-fest yesterday so that's that, although we had a bit of a problem (okay, so it wasn't a bit) ours. apparently, when you're editing with vegas, you have to spare an entire day for rendering. of course, we don't work that way, so when we clicked the render button yesterday morning at around 6am, we found out that our 17-minute video would take around 7 hours to render. and deadline was at 9. so what we did was we shot the docu from the pc monitor, captured it and burned it into dvd. para-paraan lang. pero syempre, we can't pass the docu with that quality so i'm rendering it right now. and rendering. and rendering.

our ethics class under sir chito also had its film showing yesterday, and god, that was so nerve-racking. paano ba naman, sir chito asked to pick 3 out of his list of 6 really obscure and old films (i'm talking 1930-1970 films here) and look for them whereever so we can view it in class and discuss the ethical issues presented in them. so, wanting to be less burdened with having to look for old films, we chose the 3 most recents ones in the list: guests of the emperor (1993), heaven knows, mr. allison and lost horizon (both from the 70's). who would've thought na mas madali pa pala hanapin yung goodbye, mr. chips na from 1930 at guns of navarone na older din than those three? grabe. di siyempre nung malapit na kami mag-film showing (it didn't help that sir chito was more than two hours late), sobrang kinakabahan kami kasi we heard from the other classes that he walked out on them when they didn't have all three films (and trust me, you wouldn't want sir chito to walk out on you. the consequences would be too great.) tapos wala pa kaming barbecue popcorn na gusto ni sir.

ewan, baka talaga good mood lang si sir kahapon. and to think na nag-complain pa siya kasi wala kaming dalang ice at konti lang yung coke ("this class is so lousy! serving softdrinks that's warm?!). isasabay pa niya kami pauwi. duy.

------------------------------------

ang tagal ma-download nung last ep na lost. gusto ko na makita si rodrigo santoro. wahaha.

------------------------------------

ang sarap talaga ng may kapatid na hrm. right now i'm eating something they baked for their makeup baking class. i have no idea what it's called, but it's made out of cream cheese (yum!), white chocolate and macadamia nuts. sarap sarap.

i'd better savor this as mukhang di na mauulit to. sobrang mahal e.

-----------------------------------

isang exam na lang. waha.

atras si roro, abante ako!

2006-09-23T21:41:00.000+08:00

ngayon ako nag-taping sa game ka na ba as a studio contestant. sayang, hanggang atras abante round lang ako. pero happy pa rin, at least umabot dun. saka na-experience ko lahat: umabante, magpaantras, mapaatras. haha.

favorite question: sa broadcasting abbreviations, kung ang t.d. ay technical director, ano naman ang f.d.?

pag di ko pa naman nasagot yun, magshi-shift na ako.

nood kayo sa tuesday. haha.

out of nothing at all

2006-09-15T00:01:00.000+08:00

just came back from our editing post (a.k.a. olan's house) after around 2 hours of editing. grabe, bakit parang walang katapusan ang page-edit? duy.

anyway, the shooting phase of making love is done, now all that's left to do is to find everybody's good angles, shots and takes, put them all together, add some music, render, publicize the show and launch it. onti nalang! pero kahit sobrang nakakapagod, ang saya talaga. it was a great experience, getting to meet all sorts of people, working under pressure and extreme temperatures, and all that jazz. happy.

bago ko pala makalimutan, making love is the title of our broadcast communication 130 class' production. it's about the reality behind a reality show, but it's really not that real. basta yun. we've produced the pilot episode of the show and we're going to have our launch on the 27th of september at the up-cmc media center. unfortunately, it's invitational so not everyone can come, but don't worry 'cause you can watch it over the internet since it's going to be webcast via the up website. i'm gonna post more details soon (and hopefully some production photos as well).

(note: sorry kung sabog yung post. sabog yung nagpost e.)

we're really excited about this show. just seeing the rushes makes me really excited about showing our "baby" to every single person in the world (we're gonna webcast, remember? big time!). congrats nga pala sa lahat ng classmates ko. sabi nga ni enzo (maisingit lang!), "astig kayong lahat".

at kaya nga pala out of nothing at all yung title ay dahil making love. sana ma-gets nyo. galing sa writing team ito.

-----------

dagdag lang kasi ang tagal ko nang hindi nagpo-post: nung friday shoot namin, may isang babae na itago na lamang natin sa pangalang andrea ang nakaiwan ng susi ng kotse ko sa trunk ng kotse na lo and behold ay naka-lock. zaya zaya. so may i call my mother ang iskema ko bilang hindi ko pwedeng iwan si mong sa parking all night. baka hindi ko na mabalikan yun. so fly naman si mama sa sm north with the spare key (note: this was 6 in the evening and my mom was in bulacan). while waiting for my mom, may tumatawag na unfamiliar landline number sa aking cellphone. answer naman ako, and who else would call but pilipinas, game ka na ba? aba'y game na! attack daw ako ng saturday, 1pm sa may audience entrance ng abscbn for some sort of exam. shemre naman fly ako dun no. astig, sa studio yung exam, so we got a feel of what it's like pag contestant ka na. after magpakilala lahat ng tao (note: around 150 people yun), nag-"exam" na kami na more like a quiz than anything else bilang 1 to 10 lang siya. i'm still waiting for pgknb's call kung kelan ako maglalaro. sana malapit na. kailangan ko na nung pera.

and speaking of pera...

hindi pala ako pwede manalo dun ng 1m bilang may first cousin ako na working sa abs. so wag ka na humingi ng balato. kabajan.

nasaan si ely?

2006-08-11T19:36:00.000+08:00

just watched tulad ng dati at the up film center (it's actually called cine adarna now) last night.

one word: astig.

i was never really a big fan of the dawn. they started when i was still in my mother's womb, so their comeback wasn't such a big deal for me. but after watching the movie, i wanted to go out and buy all the the dawn albums i could lay my hands on. sobrang galing nila sa movie that i immediately developed a liking for their music. and not just that, they were actually good actors. hey, who would have thought that a rock band would have that much heart when it comes to acting? astig. their acting didn't look fake. they were actually better than some "professional" actors we see on tv. especially buddy. grabe. mahal ko na si buddy. haha.

galing ni mike sandejas, the guy who wrote, produced and directed the entire thing. he was there during the showing, and he was really quite nice. you actually wouldn't think that he's a director. anyway, back to the movie. ganda nung concept. wouldn't want to give away the story since it might be shown commercially on october, so i wouldn't post any spoiler here. ganda rin nung shots and editing, especially nung part na nandun na si teddy. and speaking of teddy diaz... can there be a more perfect guy for the role than ping medina? c'mon. my friends and i were momentarily confused when a video of teddy was shown after the movie. we actually thought it was still ping in all his white face makeup glory.

i suck at movie criticism so i will just end by saying that this movie is so worth the best picture award at the cinemalaya film fest (even though i haven't watched any other cinemalaya film this year). aside from that, it was such a treat seeing all my favorite music people at the screening. raimund marasigan. ebe dancel. myrene academia. the guys from urbandub. mong alcaraz. well, i didn't really see him, so that part sucked big time.

but the really best part?

the dawn playing after the show. amazing. kahit ang daming tao, nasa harap na harap pa rin kami, sa harap ni francis. grabe, that guy's amazing when it comes to guitar playing. and buddy. ang galing. his fingers were just flying all over his bass. amazing.

mike said the movie's gonna be shown commercially sometime in october. so if you guys missed the cinemalaya screenings, watch it this october. it'll be worth your money. sobra.

p.s. my favorite scene (don't worry, this isn't a spoiler!) was when buddy saw raimund (yes, he had a cameo! along with imago.) during a gig. while they were talking, some guys came up. one said, "uy, eraserheads!". and my favorite line? guy 2: "nasaan si ely?!" hahahahahahaha.

in sickness and sickness

2006-08-07T18:27:00.000+08:00

wehe. may sakit kasi ako at walang magawa kaya magpo-post nalang ako.

hay, ang hirap magkasakit! more than a week na akong nilalagnat at sinisipon (ang daming puno ko nang nasayang). i've tried it all: antibiotics, alternative medicine (which involved glass jars and a very painful back), water therapy, rest, rest, and more rest. hope they find out soon what's wrong with me.

hindi tuloy ako makapunta sa gig ng chicosci sa tuesday. at sa talent's night ng lakan (talagang inuna yung chicosci). hay.

ang boring dito sa bahay. bawal manood ng tv kasi baka ma-strain. buti nalang naisingit ko yung pagpo-post.

------------

thesis na!

sana hindi mangyari samin ni keina yung bc185 moments namin (nang biglang mawala ang production staff ng pinag-aaralan namin na show) dahil kung hindi, spontaenous combustion.

dead.

------------

wala lang. sakit ng ulo ko.

-----------

ang ganda ng soundtrack ng "the last five years". if you guys love broadway (even though it's off-broadway), it's a must you get this album. or download it or something. ang ganda ng songs, astig pa kasi dalawa lang yung characters (and one of them is my favorite broadway actor, norbert leo butz). amazing songs. amazing lyrics. ganda talaga.

pero siyempre, number one pa rin ang wicked. :D

guys, sa galera na tayo please.

2006-04-21T21:07:00.000+08:00

iko-kompyut ko na yung expenses natin para makita ninyo.

fare: around 700 round trip (bus + ferry). sobra na yan.

accommodations: yung kapatid ko galing galera, may nakita sila na place, 3000 lang per night. big room: three beds, air conditioned, may ref saka terrace (importante ba yun? haha.) tapos kahit ilan sa room pwede, basta keri ninyo. so kung two nights tayo, bale 6000. and kung around 15 tayo (cmonst, achieve natin ito!), 6000/15=400.

food: medyo mahal daw food sa galera. so magbaon nalang tayo. haha. pero may mga nabibili daw dun na food na mura (hotdogs, barbecue). so sabihin natin na 200 a day ang pagkain. 200x3=600

700+400+600=1700.

for three days and two nights? mura na yun! baka may makuha pa tayo na discount sa room or something.

basta ako, i vote for galera. somebody post batangas/subic details.

------------------------------------

diane, okay lang yun. nakalimutan ko na. anyway, sandali lang naman ako magalit. mga 3 hours lang. :D

------------------------------------

i would like to take this opportunity to call on people who are working in television stations and know somebody from the HR department.

please, please help us get an intership slot this summer. my classmates and I are very, very desperate. we've been rejected by practically every television station and production outfit there is because we didn't apply early enough. not even our fault.

anyway, if you can pull some strings for us, i will be eternally grateful. (and maybe treat to at chocolate kiss. :D)

first of summer (classes)

2006-04-17T22:43:00.000+08:00

Let me just say, award-winning ang araw na ito.

-------------------------------------

I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and I couldn't go back to sleep. Just fine, right? Not if your class
is at 9:00 in the morning. Anyway, I did need to get to school early because I have yet to
pay my tuition. So at 8:00 a.m., I got all my stuff, started my car, and headed off. A few
minutes later, I realized that the reason why I was sweating like a pig even though I have
turned on the air conditioning was that the air cooling function wasn't working. Great.
Perfect for summer.

I came to school at around 8:10 and there was hardly anyone in line at the AS Lobby.
Luckily, I arrived just in time for the flag ceremony (the first time I actually had the
opportunity to attend one at that particular building). Minus around 6-8 minutes for the
ceremony, and around 15 for the time I spent paying my tuition. I was all set by 8:30. But
I still wasn't the first one to arrive in class. I guess some people had more time in their
hands than me.

So then, we all settled into our seats (along with Diane, Ys, Olan, Rica and Edi) and
waited for our Socio 101 professor. He was a bit late (he came at around 9:30) which suited
Edi just fine since she was also a bit late. He gave the classcards then finally, he gave
us the big news: SOCIOLOGY 101 = RESEARCH! Wow! He then started talking about how a lot of students don't know how to write an introduction, review of related lit (ka-ching!), conceptual framework (ching ching ching ching!)... Whew! I thought I was going to get a research break this summer! Good thing we took up Socio! Never mind that I am going to do my TV internship this summer which means I probably won't have any time to do any kind of research (even though it is just a proposal)! Never mind that the freakin' class is from 9:00 - 11:00, after which I'll do my internship which then means that I only have from
8:00-9:00 a.m. to do my library work! Research is SO MUCH FUN!(And in case you guys don't get it, I'm being sarcastic.)

And speaking of internship ...

Let me just clear things up before I go on. I AM NOT MAD. I'm just a bit pissed off. That's different. Clear?

So. I actually wasn't supposed to do my internship this summer. I also wasn't supposed to
take up Socio. I enlisted at Psych 101 and P.I. 100 through CRS. And because I am just
naturally lucky, I didn't get any. So instead of Psych, I manually enlisted at Socio.
However, I swore to myself and anything else I could swear on that I will get P-- I-- even
if it's the last thing I do. So along with around a hundred people who were just as lucky
as I am, we lined up for two days in hopes that the people at the Filipino department will
finally feel sorry for us poor people and open new sections, or at least take us in at the
other sections. At around 1:00 p.m. on the 2nd day, hopes were a bit higher because there
was news that there will be another P-- I-- section opening up. However, at around 2:00,
one professor from the Filipino department said that there was no chance that they will be
opening up a new section, and that they will only take in graduating students in the
existing classes. Since it will be a whole year before I graduate, I decided along with a
friend of mine who will simply remain nameless that we will just take up our internship
already, even though it wasn't in our plans. So we went back to our college and enlisted.
And then, because I am just so incredibly lucky I just couldn't believe it, a new section
of P-- I-- opened up. ASIDE FROM THAT (Gosh, when will my luck run out? Not anytime soon, I hope!), a friend of mine sent me a message asking if I want to take her P-- I-- slot
because she was transferring to a new section. Just when I was finished enlisting in the
internship class. Just when I was finished having my adviser sign my Form 5. Just when I
was finished with assessment. Life's just too kind.

Anyway, come today, I've moved on. I've accepted the fact that this summer is not the time
for me to take this freaking subject. Anyway, it would be better if I took the subject
under the professor I want, right? So there. It was over. But, ta-da! ANOTHER section
opened up! And of course my friend who will remain nameless grabbed the opportunity and
prerogged in the class, leaving our internship behind.

No, of course I'm not mad. Even though I gave up taking this subject I particularly liked
because you didn't meet the prerequisite for that subject and ended up in another research subject which I absolutely adore, I'm not mad. Even though I didn't take up the P-- I-- slot that was being offered to me because it was only for one person and of course I didn't want to leave you without a slot, of course I'm not mad.

Like I said, I'm just a bit pissed off. That's different.

-------------------------------------------------

Not everything is bad today, actually. Today's our 43rd (that's right, count them!)
monthsary (or 3 years and 7 months). So, I went to Makati to meet Jameson who came from his internship orientation at the Renaissance Hotel. After walking around trying to decide
where to eat dinner, we finally settled at Chowking at SM Makati. Afterwards, I bought a
tank top at the department store then went home.

Oh, and I spilled a bit of iced tea on myself at Chowking. Well, more like the whole glass
actually. Hence the reason for the impromptu tank top shopping.

What can I say? It's my lucky day.

------------------------------------------------

To No Parking: Good luck on your gig tomorrow. Will sincerely try to be there. Bam, please
take good care of Yael (a.k.a. Roro's guitar). Try not to scratch him.

-----------------------------------------------

Oh, and remeber my problem with air conditioning? There wasn't really a problem at all. I just forgot to push a button. One damn button.

summer's here! but...

2006-04-14T15:03:00.000+08:00

...i only have two more days to enjoy my summer vacation, and both days are holy. hahaha.

i know some people think that i'm such a loser, studying in the summer while i could be out in the sun with my friends (who, by the way, are also studying this summer! haha.). maybe they're right, but i have no plans on wearing myself out on my last semester.

so goodbye, puerto galera. hello, summer classes.

pero okay lang yun. at least i get to go out. and be with my friends. being at home all the time gets really boring.

-----------------------------

just got most of my grades for last semester (mam j, grades! haha.). and i was really surprised with my grade from one of my professors. i really thought that i was going to get a 3.0 in that subject. i barely passed the midterms, our paper and reaction paper was full of flaws (c'mon guys, admit it!), i don't recite too much. my only saving grace was my report which i think went pretty well. but other than that, everything else seemed to be heading for a passing grade.

1.75?! thanks ma'am! :D

----------------------------

one more hour till i get to watch the new episode of lost! ang tagal kasi mag-download. can't wait for this new episode. the last scene in the last episode (SPOILER ALERT! when libby was shown to be in the same mental facility as hurley) just kills me.

78% to go...

---------------------------

to all who are graduating (or have graduated) this year, a big CONGRATULATIONS! haha. can't wait for my own. :D

Artista ka?
Ako rin!
Hilig ko ang magpangap
Magkunwari
Tila nakakawala ka sa kulungan
At nahahanap ang sarili.

Mahal mo ako?
Ako rin!
Matagal ko na ‘to nararamdaman
Sinusupil
Tila langit ang pakiramdam
Pag ikaw ay kapiling.

Nagbibiro ka lang?
Ako rin!
Laos na ang pag-ibig
Kalokohan
Tila isang kasinungalingan
Ng mga romantiko’t sawi.

Artista ka?
Ako rin!
Ang galing mo pala
Dahil ako ay naniwala
Ngayong pagkakataon ko na
Sana’y mapabilib ka.

Hindi kita mahal.

2005-10-02T01:42:00.000+08:00

i so f------ hate cellphones right now.

the first thing i usually do after waking up is checking my cellphone for messages. this morning's messages included an explanatory message from my boyfriend on why he wasn't able to call last night (which is okay since he did get home late last night after we rushed one of our neighbors to the hospital) and this message:

Can u b my fwend?

if there's two things i hate in sms, it's baby talk and people who want to be "textpals". this one's both. few minutes later:

Huy
Huy
Huy

and so this went on for the rest of the morning and a good part of the afternoon. this guy or girl probably subscribed to the unlimited globe thing. i didn't bother to reply because 1. i don't want to waste my credits on somebody i don't even know, and 2. i don't have any credits to waste. still, this person was persistent. he/she kept on texting that mispelled, annoying message again and again. then suddenly, the text messages changed.

Bkit yaw mo rply?
Kuripot
F u
Abnrmal
Bwsit k

Well, f u, abnrmal, at bwsit k rin, whoever the hell you are.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at dahil nabanggit ko na rin na isinugod namin ng aking minamahal (diretsong tagalog ito!) ang isa naming kapitbahay sa pagamutan kagabi, hayaan ninyong ilahad ko na rin sa aking "blog" na ito ang mga pangyayari.

(note: pootek. hirap ng straight na tagalog. wag na nga.)

so iyon. kami ay nanonood ng tv at malapit nang kumain nang mag-ring ang telepono. nasa kabilang linya pala ang aking ninang sa kumpil/kapitbahay/purified water dealer na medyo nasa panic mode na dahil ang kanyang stepdaughter ay hinimatay at ayaw magising. ang haggard di ba. so dahil good samaritans ang aming pamilya, nag-volunteer ang aking ina na ipag-drive ko sila papuntang hospital. alangan namang iwan ko si jameson, so siyempre kasama siya sa aming adventure. hindi pa nga nagkasya ang mga tao sa kotse kaya tabi na si mama at si jameson
na naupo sa harap. ang sweet di ba.

(note ulit: pangalawang beses na ito na naghatid kami ni jameson sa ospital for emergency purposes. lahat ng pagkakataon na iyon ay mga kapitbahay namin. ganoong ka-close ang mga tao dito at ganoong kadalas si jameson sa bahay namin.)

so iyon, may i drive na ako papunta sa pinakamalapit na matinong hospital. ang haggard ha, hindi ako makasingit sa gilid ng daan dahil baka nanay ko naman ang atakihin sa puso sa niyerbyos. at nang at last ay makarating na rin kami sa hospital, napatingin na rin si neighbor sa doctor. ang diagnosis?

overfatigue.

naks. 13 years old pa lang siya pero sobrang stressed out na. sana huwag bumigay yungckatawan ko.

(note ulit: pero grabe, nakakatakot yung itsura niya nung nagising siya (or not). tulala at hindi nagrerespond. sinisigawan na nga siya ng mga tao pero wala pa rin. at ayon sa aking ina, hanggang ngayon daw ay hindi pa rin normal ang kanyang mga movements. tulala pa rin. at hindi niya naaalala na dinala siya sa ospital. freaky.)

wake me up when september ends... and other random thoughts.

2005-09-28T22:35:00.000+08:00

ito na ang pinaka-haggard na buwan ng buong buhay ko.

parang patong-patong lahat ng mga dapat kong gawin. acads, org, etc. ang dami. wala na bang ibang buwan para magtrabaho?

checklist ng dapat kong gawin:

bc 121 - final prod (edit vtr, prepare for live production, etc.)
bc 103 - final 30 minute script (choice between radio drama=creative churva or radio docu=legwork and research)
comres 101 - pre-finals exam (take note: pre-finals)
french 11 - finals
com120 - hindi ko alam kung ano meron dito. basta ang alam ko, hindi pa ako dapat magpahinga. mahaba pa ang bubunuin namin na oras.
lakan - talakan, other pubcom matters. hindi ko na nga masyadong naasikaso 'to. sorry sa mga taga-Lakan.
broadguild - wala naman. gusto ko lang isama.

idagdag pa dito ang mga tambay hours, kain, pahinga, date, at kung ano-ano pa.

ang haggard.

gisingin nyo nalang ako pag october na.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pero kahit haggard ang buwan na ito, nakakakilig rin. weird no. hindi naman love month ang september pero... yihee.

ang love advice na natutunan ko for this month ay: kung gusto mo ang isang tao, SABIHIN MO AGAD. ikaw bahala. baka magsisi ka sa huli.

drama no? keri lang. hindi naman masyadong applicable yan sakin e.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nung magsimula yung pinoy big brother, sabi ko sa sarili ko:

"ano ba yan, sobrang hyped-up ng pbb. baka ma-disappoint lang ang mga tao. hindi nga ako manonood nyan."

go nene and franzen.

nung sunday, nagpunta kami ni keina sa apartment nila sa makati. pagkatapos ay naisip namin na pumunta sa glorietta kasi gusto namin bumili ng kahit ano. minsan lang din naman kami mapadpad sa makati. at dahil maraming bitbit si keina nun, nag-taxi nalang kami mula sa kanilang apartment papunta sa glorietta. habang nasa taxi kami, may nakita kaming delivery motorcycle ng yellow cab. at dahil paborito ko ang yellow cab pizzas, lagi akong nagco-comment kapag nakakakita ako ng yellow cab delivery motorcycle.

ako: uy, keina, yellow cab o.
keina: oo nga no.

dun ko na-realize na naka-park ang motor na iyon sa harap ng isang karinderia. yung tipong bente lang, busog ka na.

ako: tignan mo, nakapark siya sa something-es karinderia.
keina: oo nga no.

at dun ko lang din na-realize na ang delivery boy na nagmamaneho ng delivery motorcycle na iyon ay bumibili ng pagkain sa something-es karinderia.

ako: tignan mo, bumibili siya ng food dun sa may karinderia.
keina: oo nga no.
ako: ang sarap kunan ng picture.
keina: oo nga, ang sarap gawing subject.

175 pesos ang pinakamurang pizza sa yellow cab. keso lang ang laman nun. magpapadagdag ka lang ng sibuyas, 35 pesos na. samantalang si manong yellow cab, malamang 175 pesos lang ang suweldo niya sa isang araw. 35 pesos, pagkain na niya sa buong araw.

ang ironic ng life.

pizza, plans, etc.

2005-08-26T23:05:00.000+08:00

i'm still feeling the 14" inch pizza my roommate and i ate last night.

keina and i ordered a 14" inch four seasons yellow cab pizza last night after we dared each other to an "eat-all-you-can" pizza match. according to the flyer, that size of pizza was "already the largest size of others" and can feed 4-6 people.

well, that was just enough for the two of us.

grabe, ang sarap talaga ng yellow cab. yum yum.

-----------------------------

planado na buhay ko next semester. ang saya saya.

subjects i'm going to take:

bc 123 - scriptwriting for tv - i'm having good luck with my scriptwriting class this semester. i'm really not that passionate in writing, so i was surprised (and still am) with the grades i'm getting for my scripts. but, hey, i'm not complaining!
bc 124 - tv performance - now i'm really getting jitters about this subject. performing for radio is one thing, but performing in front of a camera is another. hindi pa naman ako artista. live sound effects person, puwede pa.
bc 185 - broadcast media studies - ayon sa cmc website, ang bc 185 ay "applications of media theories on broadcast texts and audiences". ewan. :P
comm 141 - media ethics -i think this is a really important subject. ang dami kasing reporters ngayon na parang hindi alam kung ano ang tama at mali sa broadcasting. tapos magwawala kapag nakasuhan ng libel. ang labo. sabi nga ni tin dabu, feeling kasi ng mga tao madali lang ang broadcasting, pero importante pa rin ang proper training para ang darating na balita at kung ano man sa mga tao ay totoo at tama. (ang drama di ba.)
journ 101 - introduction to journalism - as mentioned earlier, hindi talaga ako ganung ka-passionate magsulat. i like writing in small doses. at kapag hindi ako napre-pressure magsulat. pero kailangan ko talaga kunin 'to. anyway, kailangan ko naman talaga maging masipag sa pagsusulat dahil required yun sa course ko. sana lang matino prof ko. yung magbibigay din ng press id. :D
bc 197 - radio internship - now i'm really excited about this! actually hindi pa talaga siya scheduled na kunin namin till fourth year, pero gusto ko tuloy tuloy yung mga radio subjects ko kaya kukunin ko na. i'm still not sure where i'm going to take my ojt, but i'm sure it'll be fun. sobrang time-consuming nga lang. imagine trying to fill up 150 hours of unpaid work.

so there. parang ang saya ng mga subjects ko di ba. feeling ko nga lang, mas matagal pa yung oras ng ojt ko kaysa sa oras ko pagtulog. :D

sana makapagpa-advise na ako sa monday. ma'am pinky, diyan ka lang sa department! :D

--------------------------

longest post ko ito! wala lang. iu-update ko na nga lagi ito para maraming magbasa. hahaha.

reviewing related literature

2005-08-12T00:11:00.000+08:00

well, that's what I'm supposed to be doing. but instead, I'm updating my blog. hahaha.

labo ko no. ang tagal kong hindi na-update yung blog ko, pero ngayong dapat may ginagawa ako, I'm typing my thoughts away.

ang hirap pala talaga kapag third year na. puro majors. puro papers. I'm writing a review of related literature for a joint paper in a research class. i don't even want to think about my musical interp production for the week after next. or my radio newscast production next week.
or my pending graded recitation about communication related provisions in the constitution. or the radio production talk my org is sponsoring for next week. or whatever.

I'm so tired. I need some rest.

I'm back!

2005-07-23T17:56:00.000+08:00

I didn't realize that people actually read my blog until a couple of days ago when some of my friends asked me why I haven't updated my blog for the longest time. The simplest answer is that i don't have the time. But I guess I'll have time now, since all of my fans are so eagerly awaiting for updates on my life. Hahaha.

Well, that's it for now. :D Joke!

I just finished reading the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series. And I cried. Seriously. You'd have to be really numb and inhuman not to. I won't say anything as not to spoil the book to those who haven't read it (although I seriously doubt that there are still people who don't know what will happen since everybody is talking about it), but it's really sad. Just go read the book. And to those who want to borrow my copy of the Half-Blood Prince, I'm really sorry but my mom is detaining the book lest its fate becomes that of my other Harry Potter books (way, way beyond repair).

I can't believe I still have to wait (probably) at least two years to know who the hell R.A.B. is...

my playoff thoughts.

2005-05-14T17:05:00.000+08:00

Even though the Houston Rockets suffered an extremely humiliating game 7 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, I'm still tuned in to the NBA 2005 Playoffs. After all, I'm not just a Rockets fan. I'm a basketball fan. And a Spurs fan too, who by the way leads their series with the Supersonics, 2-1.

Anyway, here are my thoughts on the playoffs:

San Antonio vs. Seattle

Obviously, I'm a Spurs fan, so of course I'm rooting for my team. I thought SA was going to sweep this series, but because of a stupid foul shot, their chances of a sweep got swept away. Oh well. I'm sure that the Spurs are gonna win anyway.

Phoenix vs. Dallas

Bam, I know I promised that I'd cheer for Dallas if the Rockets lost, but I don't think the Mavericks have enough power to beat this season's top seed. The Suns would definitely have a tough time moving on to the Finals, but in the end, it'll be them and Spurs at the top.

Miami vs. Washington

Miami sweeps this series. Or at least gets it done in 5.

Pistons vs. Pacers

Now this is a tough series. Indiana proved that they could get it done even though they're up against the '04 world champs. However, I do think that Detroit's going to come back strong and win this series (minus the fistfights and flying popcorn).

Those are my fearless forecasts for the semifinals. Let's see what happens then.

2005-05-06T20:52:00.000+08:00

still in the series...

keep the faith.

2005-05-06T20:19:00.000+08:00

from sports.yahoo.com:

"Tracy McGrady shouldered the burden of doing it all in Orlando, and had no playoff success to show for it.
With a little more help in Houston, McGrady is on the brink of a postseason breakthrough.
Playing with the desperation of a man on the brink of elimination, McGrady had 37 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to help the Rockets avoid a first-round exit with a 101-83 victory over Dallas on Thursday night.
``He's our superstar and we ride him,'' Rockets guard Mike James said. ``Tonight we tried to help him with the load. We know he's going to lead
us, we've just got to chip in.''
The series is now tied 3-3, with Game 7 in Dallas on Saturday. The winner will face top-seeded Phoenix in the Western Conference semifinals. "

the series is far from over. keep the faith.

contacts suck.

2005-05-04T18:11:00.000+08:00

i am a sucker for freebies. when my mom and i buy our groceries, i try out all the free stuff offered by the promo people (e.g. pancit canton, coffee, ice cream). so when i was offered free trial contacts by this promo girl at the mall, who was i to refuse? besides, it's the perfect opportunity to try out contacts since i've never worn them before.

well, i found five reasons why contacts suck:

1. THEY HURT!
2. THEY HURT!
3. THEY HURT!
4. THEY HURT!
5. THEY HURT!

the optometrist said that eventually, i'll get used to wearing contacts and i won't get all teary-eyed while putting them on. thank you very much, but i think i'll stick to glasses instead. they're fashionable, you know.

to all contacts-wearing (is that right? you can't wear just one contact, right?) people, i salute you!
